Oh, yes. We've still got a bunch of Real Programmers [1] out there. Real Programmers have moved on in my lifetime from insisting that everything should be written in assembly to insisting that they're Real Programmers enough to handle C directly and anyone who writes undefined behavior or buffer overflows or memory management issues just aren't Real Programmers enough and should put down their keyboards and walk away in shame, perhaps taking up goat farming or plumbing. In all seriousness, their numbers seem to be diminishing. But you certainly can't expect the Real Programmers to write test code. Why should a programmer write test code when they know they didn't write any bugs? [1]: http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/R/Real-Programmer.html - I'd say as time goes on, this term is relative. |
